Using EVAAS to Improve Student
Performance
Heather StewartJody Cleven
Region 4 PD LeadsNCDPI
Underlying EVAAS Philosophy• All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate academic
progress every year.
• There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students who enter a class at different levels of academic achievement.
• Adjustments to instruction should be based on the academic attainment of students, not on socio-economic factors.
• Given reliable information on past effectiveness, educators can make appropriate adjustments to improve student opportunities.
• "What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what students learn." (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)
• One of the most important things educators can know is with whom they are effective and where they need to develop new skills..

Value-Added Reporting
The NCE Base is by definition set at 50.0, and it represents the average attainment level of students in the grade and subject, statewide.
If the school mean is greater, the average student in the school is performing at a higher achievement level than the average student in the state.
District/School Value Added &Diagnostic Reports
• Use to identify patterns or trends of progress among students expected to score at different achievement levels
• Helpful to begin to understand terms, definitions, and connections to teacher reports
• Consider: Curriculum, Assessment, Professional Development, and Instructional Practices

District Performance Diagnostic Reports
• Use to identify patterns or trends or progress among students predicted to score at different performance levels as determined by their scores on NC tests
• Students assigned to Projected Performance Levels based on their predicted scores
• Shows the number (Nr) and percentage of students in the district that fall into each Projected Performance Level

Student Pattern Report
Student Patterns Report
Key points to remember:
•The report shows growth for the lowest, middle, and highest
achieving students within the chosen group.
•The report can be used to explore the progress of students with
similar educational opportunities.
•Like all diagnostic reports, this report is for diagnostic purposes only.
•A minimum of 15 students is needed to create a Student Pattern
Report.

Use these reports to determine local policy for providing targeted intervention and support to students who are at risk for not meeting future academic milestones.

What Are Projections Anyway?
Given this student’s testing history, across subjects…
…what is the student likely to score on an upcoming test, assuming the student has the average schooling experience?
EVAAS ProjectionsWhat are they based on?
• Expectations based on what we know
» About this student and other students who have already taken this test
» Prior test scores (EOC/EOG), across subjects
» Their scores on the test we’re projecting to
What’s the Value of the Projections?
Projections are NOT about predicting the future.
They ARE about assessing
students’ academicneeds TODAY.
Assessing Students’ Needs
• What are this student’s chances for success?
• What goals should we have for this student this year?
• What goals should we have for this student in future years?
What can I do to help this student get there?
Using Projections to Take Action
• Identify students
• Assess the level of risk
• Plan schedules
• Identify high-achievers
• Assess the opportunities
• Inform
